How to Replace a Jenn Air JFC2089 Ice Maker Refill Tube

The Jenn Air JFC2089 is a French door-style refrigerator with a built-in automatic ice maker in the freezer. The ice maker harvests a fresh cycle of ice when water flows through the refill tube in the upper back wall inside the freezer. This rubber tube can freeze and crack or wear out over time, requiring replacement. A cracked tube can cause water to leak inside the freezer, resulting in smaller ice cubes. Replacing the tube takes less than half an hour.
